Frequently Asked Questions
At this point, you probably have a few questions. That’s great! Here is a collection of some of the questions our clients have asked us along the way and our answers. Contact us anytime with any questions you might have or if you want to start the process of selling your house for a fair cash price. We love to chat.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: We are looking to get a fair discount on a property, and many of the houses we purchase are below market value. We do this so we can resell it at a profit at a later date once we fix it up. However, in our experience, most Chicago homeowners aren’t expecting a large “windfall” on the property. Instead, our clients appreciate that we can offer cash and we can close very quickly (or on your schedule). Best of all, no time, effort, or expense is required on your part to fix up the property!
If you see the value in getting your house sold fast, contact us today and let’s see if we can come to a fair price that’s a win-win for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing means that you won’t have to move forward with our cash offer if it doesn’t work for you (but isn’t it nice to know what we have to offer?).
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Great question, and we’re an open book! Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs and upgrades are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area. Using this information, we come up with a fair price that works for us and we hope works for you, too.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: As IL‘s leading professional home buyers, we buy houses in the Chicago area that meet our purchasing criteria. Once we purchase your home, we may repair it to resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.

Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 30+ days to sell, and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for their agent’s commission. But where we’re different is that our company actually buys houses directly from IL homeowners.
Since we’re the ones buying the house directly from you, and we pay with cash, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day) and we don’t need to wait for a bank to approve anything. We’re ready to buy right now!
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. We’ll make you an offer and – if it’s a fit – we’ll buy your house (and pay for the closing costs, too!). We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and try to sell it for a profit. The responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments, as well as cash in your pocket.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: Our cash offer is 100% obligation-free. Tell us a bit about your property and we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more and (if your home qualifies) make you a fair cash offer that we hope is a win-win for both parties. If our offer ends up not being right for you, we won’t hassle or harass you. It’s 100% your decision! We want you to decide what’s right for you.
